Statement by TUV party secretary Ann McClure:
“Last week I wrote to Translink challenging them on why they posted photos on their social media platforms wishing those travelling to the GAA semi-final well while ignoring the Loyal Order celebrations.
“I welcome the fact that in their response Translink has acknowledged that given that there were two major events on the 13th July there was “a case for having referenced both on our social media. We will ensure this is addressed in future.”
“It is right to challenge publicly funded bodies like Translink when they get it wrong. It’s also only right to acknowledge when they admit they could have done – and in future will do – better.
“Translink are to be commended for acknowledging they got it wrong and I and my party are committed to holding them accountable in future.”
